I used to think that there were people that worked in the sewers all day, all year, that, when you flushed your doo-doo, they would take, it smush it up, and use it to make new toilet paper.

when i was 4 years old, my mom got into a jet-ski accident and broke 3 ribs. after she had recovered a little, the doctor had prescribed painkillers to make her feel better. One day she joked that she was "all drugged up", and I had just seen a comercial about how bad drugs are. i panicked and hid all of the medicine in my whole house. i believed that medicine was illegal drugs for about 3 years, and i would refuse to take any. :D

When I saw a scuba diver on tv I started to believe that our lungs were some kind of tanks filled with a certain amount of oxigen. Very ttime you breath, you use it. Eventually, when all is used, you die!
After I figured this out, I started breathing very "economicly" to live longer, resulting in very unpleasant fealing in my body;)

i used to think that farts came out as a little orange cloud.
i started to believe that i had special powers when i was like 7.I believed that i could talk to my pets telepathiclly(and my pets talked back),that i could read people's minds,that i could pick up things with my mind and that i had other powers that i can't remember.
Talking to pets- when we would always come home from shopping or something there would be trash on the floor from the dog and my mom asked who did it.Then i'd ask the dog telepathiclly.the i would look at my mom and tell her that the dog said that bill(i tought that he was my dog's imaginary friend) did it.She would play along too.
reading people mind's- i started believeing this because i would finsh my mom's sentences before she did she always sadi i read her mind.
about picking up things with my mind i read it in some fanisty book for little kids i thought it was ture.People even told me i could but i didn't listen i always thought i could.
sorry enough to say that when i started 6th grade one of the teahcers sent mme to the guidence consular because they thought i had some porblems.Then the guidence consular had me tell the story about it then she told me i couldn't do any of those things(and that bill wasn't real). I had to go back every day(only about 2 1/2 weeks) until i finally stoped saying i could do those things.
I used to believe that, when I was walking in the bush, if I walked between two trees which were exactly the same type, length, age etc., I would actually be walking through a portal and would disappear into another world. Never worked......

When I was a real little kid (3-4) my mom told me one night when I woke up from a bad dream that if I went to the bathroom and went pee, I would pee the dream into the toilet and flush it away. It worked. I am 34 and it still works. I tryed using it on my own kids. They don't believe me.
I have strabismus, which means my eyes do not operate in concert to provide a 3-D image. As a result, when I look at an object close to my face, it can seem as though the background (seen through one eye) is superimposed on the object (seen through the other eye). As a kid, I thought this meant that I could see through things, which is exactly what it looks like.

when i was younger, i decided that it could actually be possible to fly. myself and a friend tied planks of wood to our arms and jumped off some rocks onto a beach. to this day i still claim that i "flew" further than i would have without the wood.... but it hurt considerably more with it.

When I was younger, my mom told me that my neighbor Laura had chicken pox, and not to get near her because she might give them to me.
I pictured Laura walking around with fried chicken, offering to everyone she met on the street to try and get them sick.
i used 2 b scared of getting a "dingy" on our car bc i thought u got "pins and needles" this is bc when I was maybe 3 or 4 (i was still in a car seat) my mom hit something and got a dingy in the side of my car . . . my brothers n sisters all got out 2 look @ it n for some reason that i have yet 2 figure out . . . . i had pins and needles all over my body . .. so i always associated "dingies" with getting "pins and needles"
I used to think that everyone had a certain amount of phsycic energy. Me and my friends would think of numbers from 1-100 and try to 'pick up' what it was. The scary thing was, we were always close and sometimes got it right, I still beleive it today! The people who know about this think it's mad, but life would be boring without some magic wouldn't it?

Ok, everyone in the world, at one time or another, has used their index and middle finger as an imaginary "walking man", right, If you haven't, there is something wrong with you. I used to believe that I invented "Finger Walking", and whenever I saw sombody else doing it, I would go nuts

When I was about 8 I used to lie very very still in my bed, and stare at the cieling, untill I had the most fantastic feeling of floating. One night as my eye started to dry out from staring, and I started to fall asleep, I realy felt like I was about 12" away from the cieling. This so startled me that I "fell back onto my bed". I must have jumped about 6" of my bed with shock. For ages i realy believed that I had levitated and ever since I've tried to recreate the feeling, it was great.

When I was younger, I thought that everything had feelings. Of course you're not supposed to hurt anyone's feelings. So, when I was eating my food I would literally sit there and cry because I thought I was killing my food and hurting it's family's feelings.
